Colosseum

Amazing piece of history to see and would recommend to anyone. Unfortunately it is plagued by many people trying to scam you into paying 3 times the price to skip the tickets queue. I would ignore anyone who offers you these tour "deals". Otherwise it's a great day out, filled with interesting information and great views! Highly recommend!

A spectacular and monumental place. It’s the story before your eyes. There’s a lack of adjectives. Come in and take it easy. Photos are consequences of what you are able to see and imagine. The ticket is cheap and I recommend you choose the ticket that gives access to the galleries. Walk around and use the subway as a means of transport. And be sure to do the Palatine and the Roman Forum. I’ve been there twice and it’s worth every penny. The sunset here is beautiful.

Great experience to see key Roman history. Once in your follow the flow of people throughout - starting with the arena (if booked) before then heading up steep stairs to an area with more information on the Coloseum’s history (architecture, seating areas, statues, etc.) There was also information and models of Trajan’s Column when we were there. After the exhibits can head to the interior for some great views and photographs from all sides.

Signs throughout are in Italian, English, and Chinese. The free Rick Steves audio guide was very informative in setting the stage.

Do buy timed tickets or a tour in advance as it can be sold out. They will then only let you in starting at the time (vigorous about not allowing you in early), and will compare to your IDs and do a bag check. It may look long but only took us about 10-15 minutes to enter.

It is quite busy but are able to stop and read the signs or take photos.

Benches are available to sit as part of the Arena tickets but otherwise minimal seating. There are lifts available to main areas so seemed pretty accessible.

Toilets are on the ground floor about 25/50 meters inside. Women’s only has 7 stalls so expect a wait.

Visited the Colosseum in Rome, a remarkable testament to Roman engineering and architecture. Built in 70-80 AD, this iconic amphitheatre once hosted gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. Now, it attracts over 6 million visitors annually. Standing amidst these ancient ruins, you feel a deep connection to history. Highly recommended for its awe-inspiring structure and historical significance. A must-visit!

Amazing amazing amazing. I recommend doing a tour so you understand what you're looking at as you walk through it. Take your time inside and don't plan too many things on the day you come here. I was happy to pay for the tour guide we had.

An absolutely amazing building in its scale, that was built almost two thousand years ago. It should definitely be on the list of places that any person should visit in his life 😍

🎫 To visit it you need to buy ticket in advance, you can do it on official site.

Wonderful. Even nicer than expected. We went with a guide and it gave us a lot of context and stories about the history of the Colosseum. I definitely recommend going with a guide or at least having audio. And book tickets in advance. Then the only thing you'll have to wait in line for is the security checks. Accessible for everyone, there's elevators. Bathrooms available too.

Historic and unbelievable place! A must go in Rome! Be aware to buy tickets in advance to avoid big queues and do not waste your time in Rome. If you are a history fan and would like to know all the details, buy the guided tour and if you are the type of person who just likes to visit the place and know some details, you can buy the ticket with audio and you can decide where you want to walk and how long to stay there.

Wow, I still can't believe I had the opportunity to visit such a beautiful place. The Colosseum has so much history that it's worth visiting many times. While I was there, I saw a few groups of students and thought about how lucky they were to be able to visit such a place. Some people don't get the chance to see the history of this place, so I felt very fortunate to be there. I learned so many things during my visit. Unfortunately, one day was not enough to see everything. If you're considering visiting, make sure to book your tickets in advance. You can buy tickets onsite, but they'll ask you for your ID to purchase and enter.

I mean, what can you say. It's history, it is larger than life and it's our past! Everyone should visit here. Suggest you find a valid skip the line tour. It's well worth it!

Such wonderful and rich history to see when visiting. Our guide was quite lovely, and gave us some fantastic information. Unfortunately it was pouring rain when we visited the night tour, but still incredibly worth it. The stormy weather added a layer of ambiance to our tour. Absolutely would recommend to anyone that loves history

Roma most precious gem. From all famous Roma spots, this is my favorite. Recommend the full experience with access to the arena. It is obviously not what you saw on gladiator anymore (for a very long time now 😆 as you will understand) but the base construction is there. Push for your imagination.

Pretty amazing experience to see a structure built over 2000 years ago. You can get a regular ticket or a premium one that allows u to access all levels. We got the the regular ones and was still happy with it. Amazing view from certain parts of the structure. Best to get tickets online otherwise the queue for tickets can be pretty long. Be aware that there's a time allotted to enter based on your ticket which is pretty strict. Best to come earlier. Many of the tickets available including visits to the Palentine Hills from you can see amazing views of Rome

One of my dreams come true !!!

As you approach the Colosseum, its ancient grandeur rises before you, a mesmerizing symphony of weathered stones echoing centuries of history. The colossal amphitheater stands as a majestic testament to Rome's architectural prowess, its imposing arches and weathered facade whispering tales of gladiator contests and the roar of crowds. The sheer magnitude of its presence, set against the backdrop of the Eternal City, evokes a profound awe, making it impossible to escape the gravitational pull of its timeless beauty.

We were so lucky to get the underground tickets when we visited the Colosseum. We got to see more than the regular or arena floor ticket.

We have to wait for the employee at the Colosseum to lead our group of visitors assigned to the same schedule. The group is about 15 people. The lady who led our group spoke good English and she was very informative about the history of the Colosseum.

I enjoyed my visit to the Colosseum. Especially the underground tour is the best if you have the chance to get it. The underground tour includes visiting the arena floor and the regular sections for all the ticketed visitors.

If I could I would give a 6starts to this location. Magnificent tourist attraction. Long and interesting history. Incredible architecture. Highly, highly recommended. Must buy your ticket in advance and online. There would be a long line even during low season.

During my recent visit to the Colosseum, I found the historical site to be impressive in its grandeur and rich history. The architecture is awe-inspiring, and the atmosphere carries a sense of ancient splendor. However, I would recommend future visitors to consider purchasing skip-the-line tickets to enhance their experience, as the regular lines can be quite time-consuming. Overall, a fascinating visit that could be further optimized with efficient ticket choices.

Fascinating!!

Great place to visit, allow a good couple of hours.

I would recommend getting tickets in advance if you want to see everything. Tickets for the underground parts sell out very quickly!

5*

What can you really say about the Colosseum that hasn't already been said. One of the great monuments of the world and a must visit. Definitely worth a skip the queue tour. We used CityWonders tour of the Colosseum, Palatine hill and the Forum. Fantastic tour and didn't have to queue once.

Absolutely amazing! I went during the low season, and it was crowded. I can't imagine when things are in full swing; no, thank you.

Choose the period of your visit wisely. And get your tickets online and in advance. Do enjoy!
